I visited this ruby-lipped lady three separate times in an antique store before her charm became irresistible and I bought her. I'm not sure what her story is— is she a fine art sculpture, or was she once a department store model for bathing caps or wigs? Beats me, but she is so lovely I had to have her. She will reside in the dining room, which is getting fancier (or by some definitions, crazier) by the minute. You'll see in a couple weeks.

P.S. If you ever wonder why there are pens in lots of my pictures, it's my attempt at indicating scale.

You're going to have so much fun dressing her up in different hats! I do that with a bust that my husband's grandmother made. We've got a cowboy hat, and a fez, and a sunbonnet. Great fun and a great conversation piece! :)

I have the absolute most fun reading your blog! Thanks for buying that head and posting it on your blog. Who does that? You do, and that's what I continue to enjoy. Always something new, honest, and fun.
